I have been diffing the 3.2.29 yum.8 file against the trunk version and see that there is a new "groups" command. In my opinion this is superfluous, and introduces a command that is both a reporting command and a package manipulation command. As the man page says, "yum install @group" is the same as "yum groupinstall group", as is "yum groupupdate group".

Could one not make "yum remove @group" do what "yum groupremove group" does, and deprecate groupinstall, groupupgrade, and groupremove - leaving just grouplist and groupinfo as two reporting commands? This would make things simpler for the users (and for people trying to document YUM).
